  Having added finger support to #Rogallo, I guess it makes sense that I also look to adding Gopher support too. https://blog.davep.org/2026/07/26/port70-a-gopher-protocol-library-for-python.html

  I'm kind of surprised to find that there doesn't appear to be an #Emacs package that provides a handy mode for editing #gophermap files. Like, sure, they're not *that* tricky, but it seems like it could be (or could once have been) a handy mode. #gopher

  Made a wee library to help with loading up Gopher server responses: https://blog.davep.org/2026/07/27/gophermap-a-simple-library-for-parsing-gopher-responses.html #Rogallo #SmallWeb #gopher #python #programming

  I think I'm very close to calling the #Gopher support for #Rogallo initially complete. Still some testing to do, but I'm navigating various servers just fine now. #SmallWeb #smolweb #python #programming

  Lots of checks and stuff to do yet, and also a couple more things I want to tweak, but #BlogMore is looking quite a bit faster for not too much work.

  When you decide to dive into an otherwise AI-coded codebase, and you want to make by-hand changes, at least there are tests. Right? https://blog.davep.org/2026/05/01/at-least-there-are-tests.html #ai #agent #agentic #copilot #claude #python #pytest

  Random thought: if the @fsf obsolete your contribution, I wonder if they'd be willing to sign copyright back over? https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2025-03/msg00208.html etc for context.
